Using the Prevailing Wage Intent and Affidavit (PWIA) system
Do I need a Contractor Registration License to use the PWIA system?
Contractors doing construction trade work in the State of Washington need a Master Business License and an L&I Contractor Registration License. Service type subcontractors such as surveyors, building services and truck drivers do not need a contractor registration license. They can register to file online as a non-contractor. The non-contractor alternate registration requires manual approval, but the contractor registration is automatic. When you register to file online as a contractor, you will immediately receive an email message telling you what your status is and verifying the user name/login ID and password you submitted.
- What are the minimum system requirements I need to access PWIA?
Users with dial-up modems for Internet access may not be efficient because of the large amount of data being processed. All modern Web browsers such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, Google Chrome and Safari meet the minimum system requirements to allow you to complete filing or enter the system.
